Karan is an extremely gifted sensitive person: Shah Rukh Khan

Mumbai, Jan 17 : Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was present at the launch of filmmaker Karan Johar s autobiography "An Unsuitable Boy" here on Monday, said Karan is an intelligent and sensitive man with a gifted quality to understand human emotions.Shah Rukh Khan said, "I think the name of the book should have been a good boy instead of "An Unsuitable Boy" because I think Karan is an extremely intelligent boy and a gifted human being. "When I am saying intelligent, I meant the ability to understand human emotions, people and their situation. I think that is a gift he has from God. He is an extremely gifted sensitive person. And I must mention that he is a brave boy, he is the special human being I have come across," he added.It was a star-studded evening where many Bollywood stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, Suchitra Pillai, Sweta Bachchan, celebrated author Shobhaa De and co-author of the book journalist Poonam Saxena, among others, were present.The book launch was followed by an interactive session with Shobhaa De that unveiled a better insight of the book.As the book talked about Karan s paternal instinct, when asked about it, the filmmaker said, "I think I have a nurturing quality and it came out stronger when I launched Alia, Varun and Sid. I cannot let them go of even now, after five years... I am very protective."He also added: "It goes to all the directors of my Dharma team as well. I think that comes from a strong paternal love that I have for them. I don t know how to go about it but I have so much paternal love to offer."The book has a chapter about his friendship with best friend Kajol gone sour, which grabbed many headlines even before the book released.When asked about the chapter, Karan said: "I do not want to say much about Kajol as enough has been said and done even before the book is out. I want to remember the history of friendship of 25 years that we have shared; sometimes, chapters end, books end so as relationships."The book talks about various phases of Karan Johar s life including his first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan to his passion for Hindi films and his unrequited love of life; all has been encapsulated in 216 pages.
